Reference ranges (reference intervals) for blood tests are sets of values used by a health professional to interpret a set of medical test results from blood samples. Reference ranges for blood tests are studied within the field of clinical chemistry (also known as "clinical biochemistry", "chemical pathology" or "pure blood chemistry"), the ...
Ferric reducing ability of plasma (FRAP, also Ferric ion reducing antioxidant power) is an antioxidant capacity assay that uses Trolox as a standard. [1] The FRAP assay was first performed by Iris Benzie and J. J. Strain of the Human Nutrition Research Group at the University of Ulster, Coleraine.
Uric acid has the highest concentration of any blood antioxidant [58] and provides over half of the total antioxidant capacity of human serum. [64] Uric acid's antioxidant activities are also complex, given that it does not react with some oxidants, such as superoxide, but does act against peroxynitrite, [65] peroxides, and hypochlorous acid.

@ 6AM, mean 5.5 × 10 −11 @ 6AM, maximum 12 × 10 −11 @ 6PM, mean 3.5 × 10 −11 @ 6PM, maximum <7.5 × 10 −11: Alanine: Amino acid 2.7-5.5 × 10 −5: 2.4-7.6 × 10 −5: Albumin: Blood plasma protein 3.5-5.0 × 10 −2 [1] Aluminum: 1-40 × 10 −8: 1-88 × 10 −8: Selenium : 60–150 ng/mL Aldosterone: Regulates electrolyte balance ...
The best anti-aging serums reduce visible signs of aging like fine lines, wrinkles, and discoloration. Here, dermatologists share the best ones.
Subsequently, the degree of antioxidant-mediated protection is quantified using the antioxidant trolox (a vitamin E analogue) as a standard. Different concentrations of trolox are used to make a standard curve, and test samples are compared to this. Results for test samples (foods) have been published as "trolox equivalents" or TEs.

When you buy a bottle of vitamins from a nutrition store, you’ll probably notice a best-by date on the bottom of the jar. But that inscribed number isn’t a hard-and-fast rule—there is some ...
In the human body, β-cryptoxanthin is converted to vitamin A and is, therefore, considered a provitamin A.As with other carotenoids, β-cryptoxanthin is an antioxidant and may help prevent free radical damage to cells and DNA, as well as stimulate the repair of oxidative damage to DNA.
